- So the question is, "Can You Beat RE4 Without the Merchant?" I've been wanting to try this Resident Evil 4 challenge for so long and in fact, I tried this "no merchant RE4" challenge a few weeks ago and failed miserably because I didn't have enough ammo for Salazar, so I thought I'd revisit it and see if I was good enough to complete it this time.

Resident Evil 4 is an amazing game on PS4 where your big daddy is known as the merchant and he makes sure to coddle you and take care of you so that you survive the endless onslaught of ganados, novistadors, and Saddler himself.
Text version of Can You Beat Resident Evil 4 Without the Merchant -
Hello friends, my name is Dante and today, I had to let go of my boy, my best friend, the big daddy who coddled me and raised me to be the man I am today, the merchant. He always had the biggest guns in the industry, and no I’m not talking about those twigs, I’m talking about THESE twigs! So yes, you’ve come to the right place, Can you beat Resident Evil 4 Without the Merchant? Let’s find out baby.
Of course to begin our journey, we need to start a fresh new game on professional difficulty. If you don’t know what professional difficulty means, it’s basically the hardest difficulty you can choose in Resident Evil 4. Only RE4 professionals would understand this.
Ok really quick, let’s talk about why leaving the merchant behind and murdering him the moment I see him is bad for business and makes this challenge, challenging. The merchant does a few things for you: he sells you better weapons, he sells you upgrades for the weapons you already have, he sells scopes, stocks, first aid spray, and most importantly, he sells you bigger attache cases aka, bigger inventory cases. Now, because I can’t even talk to the guy, this means I can’t get any new weapons, I can’t get any bigger inventory cases, I can’t get any upgrades for the guns I DO get throughout the playthrough meaning that my guns are always going to be the absolute weakest they can be, and I’m stuck with only picking up weapons I can find myself on my adventure. There’s two weapons to be picked up along the way, a shotgun and a broken butterfly, and if I miss either one I’m pretty well screwed so I can’t forget them. And oh yeah there’s also a free rocket launcher in the castle too so that’s pretty epic.
Before jumping into it, let’s devise a quick little game plan. So first things first, we need to be using the knife as much as possible and saving every piece of ammo we can find. This will make boss fights easier or even possible, because no, you can’t just knife every boss to death in this game. You know what? Let’s go over my intricately planned and detailed list.
STEP 1: Castrate your enemies until they die from the pain. STEP 2: Save doggy. STEP 3: MORE CASTRATING. STEP 4: Create yet another burn victim to add to our list. And STEP 5: Don’t forget to do a flip or two to impress Ashley before escaping. As you can see, the list is very straightforward, detailed and easy to follow, so let’s just yeet ourselves into it.
Alright so the beginning wasn’t too hard, and that’s to be expected. You don’t meet the merchant until the next subchapter so gameplay for this part isn’t much different other than saving all of my ammo and using my knife on everything. I was doing my job the same way they taught me to do it in the academy: break into a man’s home without knocking, question him, and then murder him with a knife because he didn’t give me any useful information. I saved dogey to repent for my sins and I was on my way. For some reason I had a weird obsession to kill everything that moved. Well, except for the dozens of villagers and chainsaw guy of course.

Hey guys, with every video I upload I seem to be getting 100 new subscribers! Thank you all so much for everything and for all of the positive feedback on my face reveal! You guys are frigging awesome. And by the way, I started up my instagram the other day so please go check that out so I can flex on my mom with my number of followers. Follow me here: instagram.com/danteravioliyt/
you could have made it easier for you. New game plus increases the stack size for ammunition.
Dante Ravioli funny asf I subbed
Dante Ravioli sick name
Dante Ravioli I LOVE YOU!!!!
Your funny man
Damn impressive! Now imagine this... you get hit once, you die. Now my son... go beat The Evil Within on Akumu difficulty without purchasing any upgrades. Good luck ;)
Dante: Uses knife most of the time, to save pistol ammo.
Also Dante: deletes stacks of pistol ammo for the butterfly
your avatar made that comment better
Oh yeah when I was trying this challenge out I noticed that as long as you're making a good bit of headshot and kick combos and knife off the one or two individual enemies that you can be surprisingly liberal with the handgun and shotgun.
this game teaches you how to prioritize
Should have used more of that amoo
We all gotta prioritize at some point.
After all these years of constantly playing RE4 I NEVER KNEW I COULD FLIP THE JET SKI
Me too bro 😂😂
I knew, but forgot how to do it.
theLoveRocketjr F
I didn’t even know you could throw a egg
Yeah, you actually get rewarded for killing an enemy with an egg.
Dante: "no merchant challenge"
also dante: "let me grab this coins real quick"
It can accumulate for the next game, right?
@@ricwilliam9839 Yes
Lol
Leon finished the mission richer than it could had imagine
During the Krauser fight, they actually made your knife much more powerful than it usually is so it would be viable to have a proper knife fight with him, finishing what they started earlier in the game.
This is so sad the merchant was like a father to me
Pewdiepie reference. Instant heart
Epic
So you always played without him?
@@steelbear2063 OOOOOOOOOOOHHHH that hurts maan
I loved him like my son.
After 15 years I finally realized that if you don't touch the merchant you'd get the standard Resident Evil arsenal of a Handgun, Shotgun, Magnum, and Rocket Launcher through gameplay. Pretty mindblowing.
Jairam Rodriguez hey kinda like classic resident evil.
Or if you're a sociopath... Eggs.
Been playing since 2008 and didn't know you can flip the boat.
What gave it away.
You guys seem to forget that you can get the punisher with an upgrade if you shoot down the 15 blue medallions
2:02 I have beaten RE4 around 13 times and I didnt know you could do a flip on the jetski
Right
Tony Bamanaboni [TomatoPowers] yea I’m surprised too
How can you do it tho
RalphyC54 RT + LT and back or left/right. PS4 is R2 + L2
Me neither! This game always gotta have soemthing new to even if it is a 15 year old game
This guy’s humor and voice kind sounds like girlfriend review
I was gonna comment the same thing. Weirdly its the way he said 'thick bois'.
No it's like Nathan Fielders :D
He's the boyfriend.
I dont mind being his BF
Who’s that???
"You're putting me out of business, stranger!"
This comment deserves the fate of the merchant
I even heard that with his voice 🤣
"Got a lot of good..."
*Slits merchants throat*
"SHUT THE F*** UP!!"
Lol
Underrated comment.
I actually did a no merchant run a while back. I recommend others try it out. Completely changed up alot of my strategies and made the game more of a survival horror experience.
I got a better idea. Play life in hell or rising if evil mods
I did that months ago, every encounter was a “oh shit oh shit oh shit” and girly screams when I dodged attacks by a pixel.
Videos please
@@Kratos1902 I actually used the flash bangs and ran away from ppl. I've never done that before, I use to throw flash bangs to kill the plagas and then kick enemies that were stunned. I spent like 15 minutes trying to figure out what I could afford to throw away to see if I could get the rocket launcher in my brief case for the castle segment lol.
agreed, did that while back and yes it’s actually really fun and does change the whole game experience
It is impossible for me. I play RE4 just to hear him say things that I cut him halfway coz I am busy most of the time
"Welcome"
"Got a selection of good thin-"
"What are you buyi-"
"Come back anytime."
Apparently, krauser takes 2x damage from being knifed in the face.
"Put my powers into Leon without his consent" 😂😂😂😂😂
Don't make me tie him up like Luis
@@DanteRavioli oh god oh fuck
But Leon wanted his powers inside him...sweat gathering on his forehead,he let him.
XD
This made me laugh way too hard
Playing without the merchant is actually kinda like the older RE's. You're completely dependent on what you can find in the world to keep you alive. It's a hell of a ride to play.
It sure is
I guess I’m in for the ride, I just found out after 17 years on my first play through on professional I was pissed at the house scene with Louis and I kept killing the merchant after I failed continuously, well now im stuck without him for the rest of the game
Its Not Harder Than RE4, The Way You Get Weapons Is Finding It, Also I RE4 You Only Can Find 3 Weapon In Entire Game
Yea but the other games give you more loot and the weapons are more powerful
I'm impressed you were able to hit the tripwire with such precision with that egg.
I guess you could say you're a crack shot.
Clearly an eggspert.
*snorts*
Such bad yokes
God
that pun was not eggcellent at all
More than 10 years later and this game still holds up.
ABSOLUTELY. I just d/l it and played through 2 weeks ago (xbox1). Still better that the newer ones. Looked up the game and apparently it's STILL the highest grossing game capcom has ever put out. So we're not alone lol
The game was ahead of its time when it came out, that's why the game still plays good these days.
I showed a friend of mine this video and he thought it was a PS4 game.
15 actually
Im playing through it right now.
“Then I arrived in hell. Ironically called the water room.” I can 100% relate 😂😂
Do you work at a waterpark?
water room was hell even WITH the merchant
@@taesang5664 omg its so fucking relieving when you can just go through there with the plaga lazer gun and just one shot literally 8 enemies at the same time....sadly first you gotta beat the game on pro....sooooo eh
I think I died 50x on professional mode. The key is to get to the crank activation room and fight from the corner.
kyle johnson i never did a prl run but i definitely feel more comfortable with all my guns maxed out lol
"the enemy's weakness: running in circles for four minutes" every resident evil game in a nutshell
"You got a bug problem?"
I'm nOt YoUr GuY......PlEaSe DoN't CaLl Me
Real* My Xbox is spoiled while playing RE4,Help fix the bug
He sure did say that
After watching you do so many crazy challenges
I got Inspired myself and got re4 again
I only ever finished the game on normal before when I was a kid
So it certainly was a challenge to complete it in professional difficulty
Especially since I had to limit my saves to get exactly 69 saves
Niice
Leon: The Professional
Very good. 😀
Haha oh yeah! I didn’t catch that until you pointed that out 😂 He even saved that little girl.
@@Spartan11117777 that's not all he did to her. Disturbing movie when you pay close attention.
His gun is called matilda like the girl
"Then we meet him, the sexiest man in the universe, the hunkiest piece of meat your eyes have ever laid eyes on, the merchant."
Ngl, when I played re4 everytime I saw the merchant, I would be like
"Heyyyyyy~"
not even a "what are ya buyin" or "what are ya sellin!" to greet him?
Hunkiest piece of meat...the piece of meat that will make vegeterians not vegeterians anymore
He was like a light in the darkness
And the merchant replies :
Hi hi hi, thank you..!
Ngl the first time I played it I thought he was gonna backstab me somehow I was always sceptical
Dude Your videos are a Blast ! Last time I played this game on my Wii back in 2007. Now, thanks to quarantine, your inspiring gameplay and madman knife skills, I bought it for my ps4 and finished it 4 times :)
I just started replaying this after many, many years. Used to do speed runs, but only after a successful finish, so I'd have all the things. This... This is insanity, and I will be trying it
4:03 no, he said that most women hold up their knives to merchant's throats in an attempt to avoid giving into their shopping addictions.
And tbh...he's not wrong
Hmm
Nuh he was being shitty.
I finished my first No Merchant run literally a day ago, and suddenly RUclips recommends me this vid lol. Also, if you're out of magnum bullets you can still beat Salazar. If you run outta ammo for the pistol/shotgun, jump down below and knife the spider plagas that infinitely spawn and they'll give you whatever ammo you need:)
The fact that you're supposed to use the knife in the Krauser boss fight is pretty well hinted by Leon telling Ada that knives are better for CQC, Leon and Krauser get into a knife fight before the boss fight, Krauser is always flexing his knife *and* most players were probably out of bullets from the previous fight when they reached Krauser. He's easier to beat with the knife than with the Chicago typewriter ffs.
"It almost made up for him stabbing me in the heart" dead 💀😂😂
It seemed that the secret Joestar technique persists through all media.
You forgot the G 0~0
JoJo reference?
@@gloomydays9814 no
N I G E N R U N D A Y O
I think this was the first video of yours I watched and I've been laughing ever since. Stuff is great, man.
Can I just like say how interesting it was to watch this.
I'm so impressed you did it... I've been playing this game since I was about 12 I think and as much as I love it, I'm still unable to go in hard without my favourite weapons!! No idea how you were so patient to achieve this haha. Love the Nike strat too hahaha
Excellent video Dante!
Video’s summary how to finish RE4 without merchant:
- preserve ammo wisely
- use tight space
- use CQC and knife for most of the time
- pray to Jesus Christ 8:29
Oneo Tuvalev and save doggy.
So basically the way you'd play on highest difficulties anyways.
So basically re2 remake
Remember the the basics of CQC... I mean sistema.
-Big Boss... I mean Jack Krauser.
Get rid of a stack of ammo for butterfly
“Saying Goodbye to Boxie” is the saddest story ever written.
She was a loud one
You deserve way more subscribers. Funny as hell. Loved this video
“save doggy”
thank you for your service sir
2:02 you can flip the jet ski. How am I only learning this now
Ur not alone i did every thing and pro at re4 and didnt know that
The: "playing Resident evil 4, like a Resident evil game challenge"
*abuses item box*
I love these! Always gives me a good laugh.
This was the first video of yours I ever saw, and it was love at first sight. (Almost a year later and I never get sick of your videos ❤)
There's a far easier way to beat the pre-title village section, and without ever facing the chainsaw guy. It works on all difficulties, too.
Basically, once the villagers are alerted, just avoid Leon ever entering the house that holds the shotgun. This way you'll never trigger the cutscene that introduces the chainsaw guy, and he will never actually spawn.
Instead, go into the house on the other side of the main area with the bonfire. It's the house with the padlocked bedroom inside, containing a filthy bed and some ammo. As soon as Leon enters this house, turn around, make sure the door is closed behind him, and then shoot a hole in the upper half of it so that you can see the villagers approaching from outside. Then simply position Leon close up against the door, equip the knife and swipe away.
The villagers on the outside absolutely cannot cause any damage to Leon as long as this door remains closed, and no enemies will be able to sneak in behind him either. So just continue to slash at them through the hole until the cutscene of the bell ringing kicks in, and the villagers finally leave. If you're quick enough after the cutscene, you can still collect anything they have dropped, also.
It's not really cheating, just a little exploit that makes this first section a total breeze to survive. It also saves so much valuable ammo at this early stage. And afterwards, you can simply search the village at leisure, collect the shotgun, all the ammo, treasures and herbs, and you're good to go! The only real sacrifice you have to make is the large amount of gold that the chainsaw guy drops for killing him, but at this early stage the extra ammo is so much more important, anyway.
Takes all the fun out of it though, but good strategy if u want to be efficient
@@bigwhopper6501 Yeah, without a doubt, it removes the intended fight for survival/panic element from the scene, and so certainly not recommended for an initial playthrough. But if you're going for any type of strategy based run, then it's definitely the way to go, every time.
I had a playthough that was a new + game, and I ran around avoiding the house/cutscene. I ran up the hill towards the exit and a chainsaw was there.
@@jaredfawley9532 Yeah, you're right. Thinking about it, I've witnessed him spawn near the rear gate before, too - but he just stood there with a group of other villagers until I had Leon actually move closer. But triggering the cutscene will definitely cause him to give chase straight away, so either way, just avoid him and this strategy will work every time.
thats sway too nerdy for a ravioli
bro i just found out about your channel and im tellin ya man, your voice, editing and the concept of your channel's videos are very interesting and keeps pulling me back into your channel, it's amazing. oh your vids are also pretty enjoyable and funny so hope you get big, my man.
Yo these vids are amazing keep it up, they just popped on me recommended a few days ago and I think i have already watched like 15 of your videos. love the content.

I love your channel so far on this res r series
Hahaha this is the first time I've ever seen anything from your channel, and I'm rolling over here! 🤣
You sir, earned yourself a new subscriber!!
yea he is amazing
New Video Idea : "Can you Beat Days Gone without Running?"
Very good idea! I'm writing that down. Unfortunately I am sticking to Resident Evil for now but eventually I'll get to this idea
@@DanteRavioli Ok. We'll see if you can do this
Alexander Schatz
Nah, that would be impossible because of the 1 or 2 mandatory hordes.
Dude i like what you got... You are a really funny guy... Subscribed for sure!
Dude this video is great lol I love this the humor is hilarious
U think i have room for that hell no
People legit do speedruns of this. Lol
Shhhhhhhh
JTB did it
@@bimbim1885 I love that JTB guy, he seems so chill
Speedrunners are basically AIs, it's not fair to compare them
It's also the classic highest challenge with knife only. take any resident evil -> new game -> highest difficulty available (RE5 professional is only available on ng+) -> no upgrade and you are going either to love it or hate it. It's for me the most realistic difficulty
TRIGGERED
hey that was witty. Thank you
subbed
Bro you're content is hilarious easy sub!
Keep at it dude. You're going to be big someday. Your videos are funn af!!
Thanks dude I appreciate that, I don't plan on quitting any time soon!
His videos DEFINITELY deserve more views and I'm surprised they haven't taken off yet. But it'll happen. 💕
I wouldn’t want to look at this game again after doing a knife-only run xD
Liked and subbed love the silly commentary
Idk why i got this in my recommended, but i love resident evil and especially 4.
Your content is absolute bliss, thank you sir
HAD TO EDIT BECAUSE YOUR COMMENTARY FUCKING KILLS ME LMAOOO
4TH EDIT BRUHHHH ROFL 5:20
I love the way he says doggy it's cute
5:18 Ah, the legendary Joestar Technique.
Props for this, RE4 was scary as hell until I started upgrading the smg, I couldn't imagine the struggle of going on without that and also not being able to buy anything on top of it.
asking the questions i never thought i needed answered ty sir
Damn i wish i knew about killing the big cheese with just 5 incendiary grenades
I've been playing Resident eVil 4 for 10 years, and I never knew you could throw the damn eggs

@@Kharr you're thinking of RE5
Great video and congrats for beating such challenge
I`m streaming this game after years of not playing it and gonna use those super duper tricks against the Regenerator and Krauser. Love these videos of yours!!!!
I like how u at the end said barely and shoot barrel at same time XD
I didn't even notice that until you said it
Im new here but man is your content hilarious. Subbed!
I love you both
Your videos so long but so worth it. Hella funny dude
Thanks man!
i have ur playlist saved i watch it about 2 times a day it never gets old
Remembering me beating Nemesis with only knife lol 😂😂
This is one of those challenges where it would be helpful to figure out how much ammo you'd need for each section because you end up playing over conservatively and making the run significantly more difficult as a result.
Yeah, it was a little frustrating seeing Dante more or less wasting 90% of his ammo at any time because he's afraid of not having ammo for certain sections. His handgun would have been most useful in the early game without being able to upgrade it, but instead he just used his knife and accrued hundreds of handgun bullets he'd literally be throwing away in a few hours - ditto his shotgun ammo which he saved up tons of and even discarded a rocket launcher for.
As some quick math aside, the base attach case has 60 squares of space. The handgun and magnum both take up 6 and the shotgun takes up 16, as does the rocket launcher. This means that without the RL Dante should have 32 spaces to work with for health and ammo, and with it, 16 spaces. In 32 spaces he could fit four stacks of handgun ammo, 6 stacks of shotgun ammo, three stacks of magnum ammo, and any assortment of three herbs/f aid sprays - or four eggs and a slot for a yellow+g+r herb. That's plenty of resources imo and you could shave it down to how confident you are at passing sections, and backtrack for the rocket launcher (I'm *fairly* sure you can? But if you can't it's still probably worth the investment of the RL vs Salazar or Verdugo so you can save your Magnum for later.)
Here after 200k keep up the good work bro
you are such a king for this golden content
Having played this game several times I am confident in saying the merchant is the GOAT
"Or they tried to steal my wallet" 😂
I love this video. I hope this is your first re 8 challenge
He's doing Knife Only first. He even made a poll on it for difficulty.
I like how at the end, it was ultimately a knife-only run with more steps.
So anyway, I started blastin
"My comfort grenade" lol
Love these videos
I just discovered this page and subscribed and goddamn what a page, incredible content!
"Impressive! Most impressive!"
You should try this while on professional and kill allllll, the enemies

When this game is released 15yrs ago and you already enjoyed it but you still wanna enjoy it and creates your own mode enjoyment
Leon knife is pratically a iron sword with: sharpness V knockback III Unbreaking III

Just add some Smite II 😆
I realize you are using tabletop rpg terms but Leons knife is probably better than any iron weapon history has ever produced due to the superior materials.

Awesome video great channel subbed
